$18/£13.3 for a single sleeve of biscuits off Amazon's US site. If I get them I'll have to hide the price from my partner.

Find others, they are not one of those that you have to get the brand. Every spermarket here has their own one.

Where do you live? I can get hobknobs at grocery stores in New Jersey (NYC metro area). They are like $4 Wegman’s carries them.

Deep south, I'll look for them next time I'm at a Fresh Market.

If you have a local city with a large enough UK ex-pat community they should beeasy to find.

Still from the show Arrested Development of the sign for "Wee Britain"

Not sure I've got one nearby, but I can look!

My pick is Irish and it’s Jacob’s Club which is a plain biscuit with chocolate. It’s like a kit kat with a cookie middle rather than a wafer

What that's insane! There has to be a better supplier out there.

There are. I can get them for $4 at a grocery store by me

I have no idea if that’s a real thing.

But's they're real and very tasty!
